Is there a way to make the actual document get embeded in the email? Not the link, but the actual content.

@Justino Mora

The product will only work if you send the attachment to the right address. You sent your attachment to paper@scribd.com, not ipaper@scribd.com.

Oopsie.

i like the idea, but agree the implementation could use some work – an outlook plug-in would be ideal. i’ve used yousendit’s outlook plugin for some time. automatically takes large attachments and sends recipients links to download the files rather than a large attachment. doesn’t solve the problem of slow adults who won’t download the office 2007 viewer, but it saves me tons of server space…

But I’m a Yahoo Mail user…wtf good does an Outlook plugin do me? I say kudos for not going the “let’s assume everybody uses Microsoft” route. I also don’t understand how trusting my email recipients with a “secret” URL is any less secure than trusting them with my attachments to begin with (tho calling the URL “secret” is a bit lame).

Either way, it seems like detractors are jumping on Scribd for offering a service that they don’t feel applies to them. Using phrases like “how could anybody in their right mind use this” is jejune myopia in extremis.

What ever happened to all those email server add-ons that stripped attachments from emails and put them on a central FTP server? Those were supposed to help solve the email quota problem.

Too much noise, and a very bad feature.

I just run a test. I send some RESUME to a Client, and then look into my Folder a Scribd. It happens you get nothing in the your INbox FOlder or in your my Docs

To be able to reach the document, you have to find the original Link in the mail scribd sent to you or remember the keyword. How then can a person remembers, let say, a 1.000 keyworks. Those guys are just crazy.

This services as of today, is Useless, at least from my point of view as a Corporate Recruiter

Things would be very different, if for each email send with Copy CC to ipaper@scribd.com one would get in his or her directory copy of the file sent.

Even when filing within scribd the system creates ficticious users.

My feeling is that they launch without any previous testing at all.

Unnecessary cheap shot at Microsoft.

I agree, an Outlook plugin would be the way to go.

Scribd needs to offer a version of iPaper that anyone can run on their own servers for their own applications. I don’t want to be forced to host my sensitive files on Scribd’s (read Amazon S3’s) servers. This would open Scribd up for big corporate applications – like online display of bills for BofA, Gas Company, Verizon, etc. for example. These guys would never go for a fully-hosted service run by a bunch of kids.

I think I may owe you a bottle…in some sense. You are correct, the link links, so rather than a password one is totally dependent on the recipients to keep it private. I suppose with the hit stats on the document’s page you might become aware of a leak. Me and my biz are still intact, so I’ll rest easy…with my eyes open.

Drop me a line to arrange the prize. DouglasHopkins(at)gmail.com. For more info Google “Douglas Hopkins Prastara”

Thanks…Twitter works great for TechCrunch and the added personal repartee is great, for example with Scobel.

Incidentally, Google picked up this thread in about 30 minutes, but on your reply, not my comment. Pretty impressive to be sweeping the web at such a rate.

@Douglas Hopkins

From what I understand, documents are made private by giving them a “secret” url that isn’t indexed by search engines because nothing links to it. However, if somebody (say, one of the people you sent your doc to) was to post the link somewhere, anyone would be able to view it.

Have been using Scribd for a year and find it to be one of the most useful, entertaining and informative services on the web. It is in that special class of totally original thinking combined with excellent design, such as Drop.io & Plurk/Twitter. While they did use some of my beta suggestions, I have no connection to the company.

If you make a document private, it is invisible to the public. I’m not a security maven so I don’t know how secure this is, but I store there an array of legal documents, as well as family history and company material, some of those private. Let me know if you break in and I’ll send you a bottle of the company’s famous “Royal Prastara”.

They have excellent upload and automatic conversion, so as pointed out above, any clueless user can get a useable format, even including spoken text.

Time will tell if this feature is useful; several comments above are not accurate as to how it works, so as usual, internet comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Other than to direct you to my orignal photo of Sharon Stone to in order to measure Goggle’s penetration and interval, a study I’m coming up with.

Temporary file storage service is old stuff. I don’t understand why Scribd keeps reinventing the wheel.

It’s definitely a problem solver, but it’s a problem that a small fraction of folks deal with. The large majority of document attachments sent are either intra-company or too sensitive to be on Scribd.

@Jason
“this is a poor choice for sensitive documents since you are posting them on the Internet”

Well, even sent by SMTP, any document is still an easy target for eavesdroppers.
The only good option is solid encryption. That’s kinda my personal rant and you’re welcome to check out our easy OpenPGP plugin for Outlook at http://www.cgeep.com.

I think they’ve solving a non-problem. I’ve never had an issue with accepting attachments and nor has any of my recipients.
